New Two-Slot, 双Thunderbolt接口扩展系统支持两个全尺寸卡, 可在桌面和机架安装配置或作为独立升级到十四行诗模块化扩展系统
Sonnet Technologies today announced the launch of Echo™ II DV Desktop, Echo II DV Rackmount, Echo II DV Module, and xMac™ Studio/Echo II DV, 该公司屡获殊荣的Thunderbolt™到PCI Express®(PCIe®)卡扩展系统家族的最新成员. Each of these products enables the use of two high-performance, 带宽饥渴的PCIe卡在同一时间的最大性能(最多2,880mb /s PCIe带宽(每个卡)配备Thunderbolt端口的计算机, 与以前的多槽PCIe卡扩展机箱相比，可用带宽增加了一倍.
这四款产品都支持使用全高、全长、单宽的PCIe卡. Echo II DV Desktop is a full-size desktop chassis, 而Echo II DV机架安装采用机架式2U机箱，具有扩展空间. Echo II DV模块是作为Sonnet DuoModo™模块化桌面和机架机箱以及xMac™Studio pro 3U机架和Thunderbolt扩展系统的升级版本提供的，用于Mac Studio®计算机. xMac Studio/Echo II DV是一个包含模块的预配置系统.
What They Do:
Echo II DV模块-所有Echo II DV产品的核心-使用户能够将两个PCIe卡连接到没有PCIe卡槽的计算机上. The module features two x16 PCIe 3.1 slots, each equipped with its own Thunderbolt interface; accommodates up-to full-height, full-length (up to 12.28 inches long), single-width PCIe cards; and connects them to a computer’s Thunderbolt ports via included Thunderbolt (40Gbps) cables. 该模块集成了一个通用的400W电源，并包括两个75W的辅助电源连接器，用于需要额外电源的非gpu卡.
“ToolsOnAir使用Sonnet的创新产品实现了许多成功的项目, 使我们能够为广播行业提供最先进的软件解决方案. 我们非常高兴继续与他们的新xMac Studio/Echo II DV产品合作. Its dual independent Thunderbolt connections, one to each expansion slot, doubles the available Thunderbolt PCIe bandwidth to installed cards, 这一点非常重要，特别是在高要求的UHD/4K工作流程中.”
– Manuel Grund, COO at ToolsOnAir
“改变游戏规则的Echo II DV模块是Softron广播和视频制作软件解决方案的理想伴侣, 有效地将MovieRecorder捕获的输入数量增加了一倍，并为用户提供了一个更简洁的解决方案，可以在Mac上捕获或播放多个4K通道.”
– Pierre Chevalier, CTO, Softron
Why They’re Important:
计算机通常缺乏专业视频和音频工作流程所需的独特端口和特定数据处理能力, 要求用户添加内部或外部接口来支持I/O, digital signal processing, and video capture and playback. 而桌面工作站可以配备PCIe适配器卡来添加所需的功能, the laptop, mini desktop, and all-in-one computers (such as the MacBook Pro®, Mac Studio, and iMac®) often favored by pro users, require the use of Thunderbolt connected expansion. Sonnet Echo II DV扩展系统通过安装两个全尺寸PCIe卡，使用户能够节省空间和金钱, each supported through its own Thunderbolt interface, 在一个可移动的桌面或机架外壳，并通过Thunderbolt电缆连接到他们的电脑.
How They’re Distinctive:
M系列Mac®电脑和一些Thunderbolt 4个人电脑有两个或多个40Gbps Thunderbolt端口, each providing 2,880 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth, 而英特尔®Mac电脑和Windows®pc与三个或四个Thunderbolt端口有两个Thunderbolt控制器, each providing 2,880 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth. By employing a separate Thunderbolt interface for each card slot, Echo II DV的设计目的是在连接两个具有独立PCIe带宽的计算机Thunderbolt端口时，为每个插槽提供完整的PCIe带宽. 这使得用户可以同时利用两张卡的全部潜在性能, 这是理想的高带宽要求卡，如DV I/O, NVMe SSD storage, and 10 and 25Gb Ethernet adapters.
